Chapter 20 Come and go freely without a trace
I saw Zhang Xian raise his hand, his two fingers were pinched into a sword trick, his mouth was beating rapidly, he chanted a mantra in a low voice, and he couldn't hear what he was reading, and his fingers were gesturing on the water bowl, as if he was writing something.
Immediately, as soon as his fingers were closed, he stopped chanting the mantra, breathed and breathed, and his eyes returned to normal.
"Dao Chief, this is the end of the spell?"
Several people present were puzzled, and they followed to join in the fun, just to see the spell, but after a few strokes, they didn't see a bright hall, how could it be over.
"Hehe, you are mortal with the naked eye, you don't know ghosts and gods, and you can't see my spell. ”
Zhang Xian smiled, his spell is called the Pure Heart Pushan Mantra, which is used together with the Pure Heart Pushan Talisman, which can not only clear the heart and ward off evil spirits, but also help the sick, it should be the method of water and fire, drawn on paper, through the sublimation of the flame, dissolved into the water.
The Taoist book says: The gods of the world are insoluble in fire, and the essence of the world is insoluble in water.
However, his Void Talisman did not need the sustenance of the talisman paper, and directly dissolved the mana into the water.
Of course, he can also cast a spell on the old woman directly without using a water bowl and imprint it into the Yuan Shen, which has a better effect, but he still keeps a low profile and hides his means.
"Old man, if you drink this bowl of runic water, the root of the disease will be cured. Zhang Xian said and gave the water bowl to Lu Sanpo.
"Thank you, Chief. Lu Sanpo said thank you, held the talisman water, and drank it in a few sips.
Sure enough, Fu Shui's stomach was immediately effective, his spirit was lifted, and the whole person seemed to be well, and his whole body was warm, as if he was basking in the sun at noon.
"Old woman, how do you feel?" asked Lu Sanbo.
"Third aunt, what does this rune water taste like?" The rest of the people were curious, this rune water of the Kunlun Daoist does not draw runes, does not burn rune paper, so it is a few strokes, it is really a little simple.
Lu Sanpo came back to her senses and was suddenly surprised: "Hey, it's really a god, it seems that everything is fine, and I am still hot, and I am not afraid of the cold." ”
Originally, as soon as it was night, I felt chills in my back and dizzy, but now that I have drunk Fu Shui, my mind is clear, and I am not cold.
Quickly got up and moved, his body and bones were also flexible, and his whole body was full of energy, just like he was not sick before.
"Old woman, is it really good?"
Lu Sanbo was also puzzled, so he made a few comparisons, it was too simple, but when he saw the old woman's demeanor, he was indeed energetic.
A few people next to them were also curious, but they didn't know how to see a doctor, and they couldn't see a bright hall, at least until tomorrow, they didn't know if it was really good to break the roots.
"Old man, don't hurry up and thank the gods, I'm really fine. Lu Sanpo hurriedly pulled Lu Sanbo, for fear of disrespecting the gods, and knelt down to thank him.
Zhang Xian dared to bow down like this, so he had to smile bitterly, stopped the two old men, and said: "The old man doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture, it's not a big deal, but the old man, you are old, your foundation is weak, you still need to eat some good things to tonic, drink some chicken soup or something, consolidate the foundation, and it will last longer." ”
"Dao Chief, can my wife drink chicken soup?" Lu Sanbo asked cautiously, "The doctor said that the deficiency cannot be replenished, and it must be broken before it can be eaten well." ”
"Don't worry, it's broken. Zhang Xian said.
"Okay, thank you, I'll kill a chicken stew. Lu Sanbo was overjoyed, and immediately went to kill the chicken, and hurriedly said: "Old woman, hurry up and cook, don't neglect the Taoist." ”
"Okay, okay. ”
Lu Sanpo hurriedly agreed, took her grandson to the stove house, and left the three children to eat, they all had someone to cook at home, it was late at this time, and they went back after a few words of greeting, saying that they would come back tomorrow morning.
Zhang Xian saw that the family was full of old husbands, wives and children, but he didn't see young adults, and he also went to the stove house to help, how could Lu Sanpo let the guests go down to the stove house, and didn't let Zhang Xian touch these jobs, Zhang Xian was helpless, so he had to chat and ask where the young people in the family went.
It turned out that Lu Sanbo's family had three sons and a daughter, the daughter married to the next village, the three sons all like martial arts, and practiced martial arts with the veterans who returned to the village since childhood, and now the eldest son is on an errand in the county government, and lives in the county seat on weekdays, the second son and the third son followed the gang and did some small business, and the daughter-in-law also went with him, and he could only come back once in half a month.
The ancients had inconvenient transportation and backward trade, and the pickers, horse gangs, Cao gangs, etc., were all very common traders.
Pulling goods from the city, needlework, farm tools, salt, pottery, etc., those who carry the burden are called the gang gang, those who have horses are called the horse gang, and those who support the boat on the water are called the Cao gang, in order to resist the robbers and ruffians, everyone acts together in teams, goes deep into the remote countryside, and then buys herbs, grain, wild goods, furs, etc. from the countryside and transports them back to the city.
This back and forth, one buy and one sell, so it is said to be a business.
Ordinary small gangs only operate locally, do not wander around, each has its own sphere of influence, and does not allow other states to cross the border to grab business, and buy and sell some daily goods.
However, there are still some big gangs, who go south to north, buy from south to sell north, have a large range of activities, make friends with powerful people, and even dominate one side, such as the salt gang, where officials and businessmen collude with the rivers and lakes recklessly, bully and dominate the market, sell illegal salt, and their power is extremely strong.
These gangs are also part of the Jianghu forces.
At this time of chatting, Lu Sanbo had already killed the chicken, opened a small stove and stewed a pot for the old woman, and the meal in the stove house was almost ready, the old couple was very hospitable, fried a few vegetarian dishes, steamed bacon sausages, made egg soup, and Lu Sanbo also took out wine to entertain him.
The food of the farmhouse is very simple, the vegetables are in the family field, the meat is almost all bacon, the other is eggs, and the wine is more precious, and the guests are generally invited to drink.
Zhang Xian is in the Guogong Mansion, every day is the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, but the food of this farmer, he also eats very fragrant, especially this wine, which is a sweet wine fermented by glutinous rice, clear and sweet, with endless aftertaste, a few sips of drinking, the whole body is comfortable.
This was the first time he drank alcohol, and he immediately liked it, and when he was in the Guogong Mansion, he was raised as a fool and had no chance to drink at all.
He has a great appetite, eats and drinks a lot, one person eats the amount of three strong men, and the wine is unconsciously drunk to a jar, his face is not red or panting, and he can't even hold up his stomach, I really don't know where these things are eaten.
The old couple of the Lu family were also dumbfounded, they really couldn't see that this young Dao Chang could eat and drink so much, thinking to themselves, this Dao Chang is really not an ordinary mortal.
After eating, the old couple wanted him to live in the house, but he said that when he entered the world for penance, he could have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and he only lived in the firewood room, and he didn't want to disturb others too much.
He meditated, breathed and breathed, closed his eyes and recuperated his mind, and contemplated the sea until late at night, when he leaned on the wood, recited a requiem mantra, and fell asleep.
The next day, when it was dark and the village had begun to bark, he woke up early.
Taking advantage of the fact that the old couple of the Lu family had not gotten up yet, he did not bother anymore, left lightly, rested for the night, and was full of energy, walking like flying, with muscles and bones all over his body, full of vitality.
He felt that his Taoism had improved again, and his thin body was getting stronger and stronger day by day, like the rising sun in the sky, masculine and unstoppable.
He climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, his physical strength was endless, he was not tired at all, not even a trace of gasp, looking at the morning sun, he couldn't bear his spirit, climbed a big rock, looked into the distance, took a deep breath, waved a stick, and practiced swordsmanship.
But said that in the Lu family, the old couple got up, Lu Sanpo really recovered, and didn't cough anymore last night, and couldn't help but be happy, this is really meeting a living immortal who knows how to do Taoism, and I also want to have a good treat today, thank you for some money, but when I went to the firewood room, the Taoist chief had left, and the old couple had to sigh.
After breakfast, a few people came, and there were many people who came together, the news in the village spread quickly, I heard that a Taoist chief came last night, and he cured Lu Sanpo with a few strokes, everyone came to join in the fun, and also wanted to see if Lu Sanpo was really good.
Everyone was really surprised to see Lu Sanpo, but they had to know that the chief had left, and everyone had to sigh in disappointment.
However, Lu Sanpo's illness was cured, and her spirit was better, but she told everyone how powerful this Taoist is, as soon as he drank the water, he immediately got rid of the disease, and how the Taoist drank in a big bowl, ate meat, how powerful the food was, etc., and this Taoist didn't want money, he only stayed overnight, which was really a strange person, and everyone listened to it with relish.
On the big rock on the top of the mountain, Zhang Xian didn't know that his deeds had also become a strange story he read in the book.
After practicing swordsmanship several times, he felt that his strength had not yet been used, and his swordsmanship was too light to practice, so he lifted a stone on the side of the road to practice his strength.
This stone weighs thirty or forty pounds, he actually feels light, and he can even hold it with one hand, according to the assessment standards of the martial arts hall, he is already a nine-rank warrior.
Strength is the basis of martial arts, "Martial Arts" is graded by nine grades, with a stone lock weighing one pound as the standard, that is, thirty catties, the average man in the prime of life, no special practice, one arm only has one strength.
The power of this jun is not simply lifting a jun, but being able to do actions at will and control the weight of this jun.
Zhang Xian's body is very thin, almost powerless, but he can play with these thirty or forty stones with one hand, even he himself is surprised, this is already equivalent to a man in the prime of life.
"Could it be that my body is better, and I really opened up the meridians of my whole body!"
He said to himself with joy, lifting the stone to play at will, this feeling of exerting strength, let him feel comfortable, and even picked up the stone and ran back and forth, until the sun was three poles, sweating profusely, this is the feeling of fun.
Put down the stone, continue to hurry, walk like flying, climb over the clay pot mountain, about noon, enter the boundary of Yunan County.
However, after a long time in the mountains and forests, he was a little lost, and he didn't know where he went, and he didn't see farmland or anything along the way, it was all dense deep mountains and old forests, and there was no road, so he had to find the direction and split the weeds to move forward.
In the evening, the sun was about to set, and there was a wolf roar in the mountain forest, which was terrifying.
", there are wolves in this forest, shouldn't there be goblins?"
He was startled by the sound of the wolf's roar, and immediately remembered the story in the Taoist book, the scholar spent the night in the barren mountains and mountains, and encountered monsters or something, but even if there were no monsters, it was no joke to meet this jackal, tiger and leopard.
It's going to be dark now, and he doesn't even have a fire fold on him, how can this be good?
